FAST CHARGER AND DETACHABLE BATTERY PACK
Your drill has a 1 hour fast charger and detachable
battery pack. A 1 hour charger has an end of charge
visual indicator. To increase the availability of your drill
you can purchase an additional battery pack as an
accessory or spare part.
CHARGING YOUR CIRCULAR SAW
Important! The battery pack in your circular saw is not
charged when supplied as new. A new battery, or one
which has not been used for an extended period,
achieves full performance only after approximately 5
charging and discharging cycles.
Before attempting to charge your circular saw, read all
the safety instructions.
To charge your circular saw, proceed as follows:
The battery pack is then ready to use.
If the battery has been used recently and is too hot, the
red charge light still comes on but the charger will not
actually start charging until the battery temperature
reduces to below 45˚C. The 'intelligent' battery charger
recognises the charged condition and switches a fully
charged battery immediately to trickle charging. By this
means, the battery can remain indefinately in the
charger without risk to the battery life.
Disconnect the plug from the electricity supply before
making or breaking connections to the battery pack.
For the longest battery life, charge the battery pack in
an air temperature of approximately 24°C/75°F. Do not
charge the battery pack if the air temperature is below
5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F.

The 1 hour charger can remain in the electrical socket
indefinitely without adverse effect.
If the lights on the charger do not come on when
placing the battery in the charger, check the supply at
the electrical socket with a lamp or other appliance.
If the electricity supply is satisfactory and your drill is
still not charging, take or send your drill and charger to
your local Black & Decker authorised repair agent.
RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT
To remove the battery
pack, depress the two
release buttons and
withdraw the battery
pack. Plug the charger
into a standard 220/240V
socket.
Place the battery pack in
the charger. While
charging, your battery
pack may hum and
become warm to the
touch; this is normal.
Leave it in this
condition until the red
light goes out and the
green light shows.

HANDY HINTS
Some splintering is inevitable on the topside line of cut.
It is therefore desirable to cut on the side of the
workpiece where splintering is acceptable. This is
especially important when cutting laminates.
TOOL CARE
• Guide your circular saw but do not force it through
• Always keep the air cooling vents on the motor

Black & Decker cordless tools use nickel
cadmium (NiCad) batteries or battery packs
which can be charged many times to give long
life and repeatedly full power.
This symbol indicates the NiCad batteries
contained within this unit must be disposed of
Cd properly and not discarded in everyday
household waste which may be disposed of in
an incinerator or landfill site.
NiCad batteries can be harmful to the environment
and can explode when exposed to fire.
Do not incinerate.
Therefore, when your tool or battery pack needs
replacing, think of the protection of our environment.
Black & Decker recommends the following:
• Discharge batteries completely by running the
unit until the energy is completely discharged
and then remove from the tool.
• Take the battery pack to your local dealer or
your local recycling station. If necessary,
contact your local council for disposal
information. The collected batteries will be
disposed of properly and/or used for recycling
purposes whilst protecting the environment.
Note: You as a customer are responsible for
proper disposal or recycling of the battery pack.
the work. Applying excessive pressure can cause
your circular saw to overheat. If your circular saw
becomes too hot, operate it off-load for 2 minutes.
